Aggies open ‘new’ Kyle Field in 2015 with non-whopper: Ball State

COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M has wrapped up its non-conference scheduling for the 2015 season, and the Aggies will open their new $450 million redeveloped stadium with a non-whopper: Ball State on Sept. 12, 2015.

As previously reported, the Aggies will open that season against Arizona State on Sept. 5 in NRG Stadium (formerly Reliant Stadium) in Houston. That will give workers another week to put what they hope are finishing touches on the new Kyle Field.

In a quite underwhelming offering of non-conference games that season, Nevada (Sept. 19) and Western Carolina (Nov. 14) also visit Kyle Field. It’s a good thing for A&M fans, at least, that SEC powers Alabama and Auburn visit Kyle in 2015, to offset a weak lineup of non-conference foes.

Kyle Field currently is undergoing the aforementioned renovation, although the Aggies will continue playing their home games in their longtime venue this coming season, which opens on Aug. 28 at South Carolina.

Below is Texas A&M’s final 2015 nonconference schedule. Dates for the SEC games are to be determined:
